Wrong-way driver admits to huffing before crashing into parked cars in Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Drama unfolded in front of the Duval County Courthouse Wednesday morning after a woman drove a car the wrong way on Adams Street crashing into parked cars.

Richard Gordon’s Toyota Prius was one of at least three cars damaged.

“She hit my car hit the car behind me,” said Gordon.

Action News Jax had a crew at the courthouse for a separate case when the incident occurred. Our camera rolled as police repeatedly asked the driver, identified as 50-year-old Christina Lappin, to stop and turn off the car.

Once Lappin opened the door police took the keys from the ignition and then pried away two air duster cans she was holding.

“I heard she was out of her mind on inhalants when she went the wrong way,” said Gordon.

The woman was eventually led to another squad car where she was arrested.
